http://serverfault.com – I'm migrating from an openSUSE (12.x) CLI home office server to CentOS 6.3. I can install the CLI CentOS 6.3 fine, but then how do I connect that to my home wifi? There is a "Configure network" button during the anaconda graphical install, and it has options for wifi, but even setting the wifi here results in no connection when the install finishes and I log into the CLI. openSUSE has Yast (even for CLI!) where you could configure anything and everything. I see a few system-config-* type commands on CentOS but nothing where I input my wifi SSID and passkey. Does anybody know which files I (HowTos)

Hi,

Until recently, I've been using CentOS on servers as well as on desktops. These last weeks, I've been migrating all my desktops to openSUSE 11.3. The server machines still use CentOS, but I have one desktop machine here that has to run an FTP server locally, for use with Ghost For Linux.

I installed vsftpd on the openSUSE machine and tried to configure it like I did before on CentOS.

I have a small business, and I don't feel very secure with network. I have a router, and I share the same network for my home and office.

I moved from 10.04 to 12.04 by clean install. Previously I've had to use additional drivers, but 12.04 seems to recognise my wireless card no problem. The card can see my home network. Wired networking is okay.

No matter how I configure the wifi network, 12.04 will not connect; keeps looping back to 'Authentication required by wireless network'.

I have a new S3 and any time it sees a new wifi signal it asks if I want to configure a wifi hotspot.

It doesn't ask if I want to connect to a wifi network, but rather if I want to configure a wifi hotspot.

I have network notification unchecked in the advanced wifi settings so it should not notify me of new wifi hotspots and I have tethering off.

This is really annoying because the scree

Guys, I was trying to connect my Arc to my laptop wifi after sharing the internet connection from the wireless ad-hock network creation wizard but I couldn't find the network in the wireless list on my device. so If you don't have a WiFi router, but your PC is WiFi enabled, you can use Virtual WiFi Router to allow other WiFi devices to use your connection.

Support Wifi problem! 1 year 10 weeks ago

Hello,

I have a Samsung Galaxy Gio S5660 with a Wifi problem. When I connect to my home, school, girlfriend's Wifi it works fine! When I leave the connection with Wifi (just because I go to school of to a Bar..) and I'm going back to my home, school of girlfriend, Wifi is not connecting to the router.

Hi everyone, well, I have been searching for two days now, and haven't found any solution to my problem.

SO, basically, here it is : I used to be able to connect to my home wifi without any problem. I had a WEP key. A few days ago I used Backtrack 5 on my computer (usb-boot) and tried to find MY wifi's key, because I wanted to test it.

Ok I need help with accessing my server over the internet.

I have a fresh install of Ubuntu Server 12.04 64 bit with ssh and webmin installed. I've forwarded port 22 on my router to the ip address of the server.

I am trying to connect over the 3G network of my android phone using connectbot.
